Entry 34: The Bearded gets Suspicious

Starswirl’s been… worried of late.

There was another false hearing while I was writing him a message. He noticed… probably by the deteriorated quality of my writing, that I was distracted.

I tried to alleviate his concerns, but he’s being rather persistent. Then again, I did scorch the page that I was writing on when I heard that false scream and wrote “Got to go.” I suppose that would make any pony feel concerned.

But I can’t tell him. After all. He’s not a seapony or deep pony with experience of the ocean’s mysteries. He isn’t going to have any answers that I don’t know. Furthermore, he is a surfaceworlder, and I can’t have the surface knowing that I am being plagued by these… incidents. It would make me look weak.

On the other hoof… He is trustworthy. He’s now helped Aquestria on several occasions out of his own free will.

And I must admit, I am getting desperate for some kind of answer. I need someone willing to look outside the box, to see the data I’ve been collecting for years and years. Someone who doesn’t think like a sea pony or deep pony, who can perhaps grasp clues and connect patterns my subjects has failed to connect for hundreds of years.

Starswirl is also a really powerful and intelligent mage. He might just be able to figure out why these incidents are occurring. Who knows…. Maybe he can use one of his fancy time spells to go back and study the original occurrence. I still don’t know how he’s able to manipulate time to such a degree.
